Apparently it happened a couple of months ago, so presumably we don't
need
to guess.

" The Reno police department has told krnv that Brossert will faces
charges for theft if the store owner files a police report of what
happened. "

Since it's a civil matter that figures. It's down to the store owner.

"Charges of theft" is not a civil matter.

Without a theft being reported, where's the crime ?

In the US, the state can act on an unreported crime. Nobody has to
report you to get a speeding ticket. The cop just has to be able to
catch you.

Yabbut .....

Simply taking something isn't a crime unless there is evidence that it
belongs to
someone else and it was taken without their authority. That's why I said the
owner would
need to report the loss.

The police could act in this case if they wanted to. The tape clearly
shows that the person believes that he is taking someone elses
property. In the US that would be enough to get the case into court.

Not likely to happen.

Yes, the odds are near zero but Eeyore needed to know that it still
was non-zero.
